background: to evaluate the association of apolipoprotein b (apob), apolipoprotein a (apoa), and apob/apoa ratio with the body fat indicators in patients with stable angina pectoris (sa). materials and methods: one hundred and twenty two participants aged 40-60 years old, with a mean age of 52.1 ± 7.2 years and sa, were recruited for the present study. body weight, height, and waist circumferen...

The current review examines work-related traumatic events, with particular focus on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a potential mental health outcome. Despite considerable empirical knowledge about trauma and PTSD, a gap exists with respect to laws undergirding Workers Compensation (WC) insurance coverage for work-related mental health injuries. In this article, state and federal WC sta...

The structure of Z-DNA, currently accepted as a model for all left-handed DNAs, fails to provide convincing explanations for at least four well established properties of left-handed DNA polymers in solution. However, the major discrepancies between theory and experiment are resolved by the structure presently proposed for Z[WC]-DNA, a new left-handed, zig-zag double helix with Watson-Crick-type...

Cross-sectional analyses of adiposity and sleep duration in younger adults suggest that increased adiposity is associated with shorter sleep. Prospective studies have yielded mixed findings, and the direction of this association in older adults is unclear. We examined the cross-sectional and potential bi-directional, prospective associations between adiposity and sleep duration (covariates incl...

We report on optically induced, ultrafast magnetization dynamics in the Heusler alloy ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{FeAl}$, probed by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. Experimental results are compared to from electronic structure theory and atomistic spin-dynamics simulations. Experimentally, we find that demagnetization time (${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{M}$) films of ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{...

Abstract In this work, we investigate the effect of anti-site disorder on half-metallic properties a Mn 2 FeAl Heusler alloy thin film. The film was grown TiN-buffered MgO 001 substrates via magnetron sputtering. A detailed structural characterization using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and anomalous XRD showed that crystallizes in partially disordered L 1 B structure with 33% between Mn(B) Al(D) sit...

The study assessed the optimum incorporation rate of Borassus aethiopum (Ba) ripe fruits’ dried pulp in laying hens’ feed. So, 72 Isa Brown hens 37-week-old were allotted into 9 groups 8 each. Then, 3 control diets including 60% yellow corn (60%YC), 55.2% (55.2%YC) and white (60%WC) formulated. Additionally, 6 test made by substituting 5%; 7.5%; 10%; 12.5% 15% 60%WC Ba pulp...
